I can’t remember a single time it was called last year even though it constantly occurred. If he had made these comments four years ago, he would have made sense. Now, not so much.

Not sure allowing interference is the way to go. Would removing the trapezoid help? Goalies could roam more to handle the puck. Dumping is boring to say the least. Can they look for ways to prevent some dumping?

That would slow the game down dramatically and reduce the number of goals per game. Which was what they didn’t want to do…. Until now , they have severely slow the game with the lockout!!
